It's February, so it's time for the reminder that I tend to be generally cranky during this month. Also, the students start to act a little crazily. This week, I've noticed 13 year-olds diving onto the floor, roaring like dinosaurs, jumping around and flapping their arms, and wildly throwing pillows and shoes. And that stuff all happened during lessons.
This is just par for the course. After 11 years, I know this. I'm not panicked. I'm taking deep breaths and forging ahead.

wow, I didn't do this when I was a Middle Schooler.

doc! Thanks for the comment! It's possible that you wouldn't remember these behaviors from middle school even if you exhibited them. Middle school tends to be blocked from our minds because of the many mortifying aspects. The job of the teacher is to love them in spite of their b.o. and horrifying behavior. :)
Today I left school absolutely crazed. Thanks for reminding me that it's not merely my seventh graders.
This was good to read. Our kids have been maniacs this week. Maniacs.
I don't miss this month of teaching. Although, generally, I really do miss teaching.
